Aubrey 27 Months

This past month has been a blur! I'm not even sure why entirely. Perhaps it's because it has been cold and rainy and kind of dreary. Or perhaps because it's just a short month (thank you February for not even holding my child's monthly birthdate : ). Either way...

Happy 27 Months Aubrey Lynn!

27 Month Highlights: 

-You are a little monkey and love to climb on us, or wrap your arms and legs around our legs for a ride. It cracks us up and you just giggle away!

-You are my little errand buddy when Isabella is in school. We go grocery shopping, just for fun shopping, to parks, and occasionally out to lunch which you of course love. 

-You LOVE wrestling with your sister or Daddy and inevitably most times despite being smaller, you end up on top! 

-By far the biggest highlight of the month was a family vacation to Navarre Beach, FL. You got croup the day we left, and the entire family ended up getting sick at some point on the trip, but it was a great vacation overall with warm, sunny weather, lots of time spent on our own beach, and a great house! You and Isabella shared a room which meant you kept her up way more than she's used to not sleeping, but overall you both did great. You are OBSESSED with the beach and loved everything about it. You love building sand castles, running in and out of the water, and finding seashells. You ask almost daily when we are going back. My little beach baby!

Poor sick baby, you actually slept 45 minutes in the car on the way down to the beach. About 45 more minutes than I thought you'd sleep!

You played hard, you slept hard!

Sleeping: Bedtime is taking longer these days and/or we go up a bit later so it's usually around 8pm when we leave your room. You play in bed with your stuffed animals or read some books (AKA rip them all apart...urgh!) until about 9 on most nights, and then you tuck yourself in and sleep until 6 or 7 am. The days you wake up at 6 you usually go back to sleep from 6:30 til a little after 7. Then you play quietly (or not so quietly sometimes) in your room til your clock wakes up at 8am. 

You nap around 1:30 or 2pm, anywhere from 1 to 2.5 hours. Most days it's on the shorter side, but twice a week you will give us a good long nap.  

Eating: You are still picky but you are going through a major growth spurt and say "I'm hungies" ALL.THE.TIME. You still spit out every single vegetable I make you try (which is pretty much every single day). You will dip carrots in hummus to lick the hummus off, but there isn't much carrot consumption there. 

Favorite foods: Yogurt squeezies or plain greek yogurt with jelly, fruit squeezies (but you are VERY picky about flavors), cheddar bunnies or rockets, cheerios and bran flakes for breakfast, oatmeal with berries, pancakes, mac-n-cheese, hot dogs, pasta with parmesean cheese, runny eggies with turkey bacon and toast (which you have almost daily for second breakfast!), & ham and cheese.
